Alexandre Bompard, Chairman and CEO, declared: "In a context of accelerating inflation, Carrefour performed strongly and continued to post growing results, confirming the solidity of its model and the relevance of its commercial strategy to its customers, with continued market share gains in all of its key geographies. This good commercial momentum is the result of the unfailing mobilization of the teams. Coupled with strict cost control, it allows us to look to the second half with confidence. At the same time, the Group continues its transformation. The acquisition of Grupo BIG is now finalized and the Group is making rapid progress in the integration process. We recently announced the sale of Carrefour Taiwan to our partner Uni-President, which will be a value-enhancing operation for the Group. We continue to implement our digital plan with significant progress, notably for Carrefour Links. Last, we are strengthening our CSR commitment, for example with a proactive approach to reducing our energy consumption. Carrefour continues its forward march and will present its new strategic plan on November 8, initiating its 2026 trajectory and reinforcing its long-term ambitions."

NB: Taiwan operations are fully consolidated in the present results publication. They will be accounted for as discontinued operations in 2022, starting with Carrefour's third quarter sales publication, in accordance with the IFRS 5 accounting standard

In a context marked by inflation, Carrefour maintained its solid commercial momentum and focus on customer satisfaction in the first half. This translated into steady market share gains in the Group's key countries, notably France, Spain and Brazil. Combined with a granular pricing strategy and strong cost discipline, it enabled the Group to live up to the commitment made at the beginning of the year: Protect the purchasing power of its customers while consolidating its economic model. This is reflected in a stable ROI margin at 2.1% over the halfyear and by a marked improvement of +€110 million in net free cash flow.

As expected, consumer price indexes gradually accelerated in all Group's countries, reflecting inflation in raw materials, production costs and distribution costs. In this context, consumption patterns proved resilient. During the second quarter, Carrefour observed a slight evolution in consumer purchasing behavior, particularly in European countries where inflation is the most pronounced such as Spain and Romania, reflecting growing consumer attention to purchasing power constraints. Carrefour addresses this well with:

an unparalleled diversity of formats, notably those offering the biggest discounts (hypermarkets, Supeco)
Carrefour-branded products, that offer excellent value for money, as well asthe enhanced range of very accessible "Simpl'" products. The share of private label products increased in line with historical patterns, and now accounts for more than 32% of sales
a particularly competitive price positioning on the most sensitive staple products for customers, with, for example, the "Tight prices" and "30 products for €30" campaigns in France
the attractiveness of its loyalty program and the strengthening of its promotional dynamics, both in terms of number of promotions and in discount level

SOLID SALES MOMENTUM IN Q2 2022

Notes: (1) Excluding petrol and calendar effects and at constant exchange rates, (2) Hyperinflation and foreign exchange in Argentina

Group sales increased by +7.3% LFL in Q2 (+8.1% LFL in food, +2.9% LFL in non-food), reflecting solid commercial momentum, in an inflationary context, and the relevance of our multi-format and omnichannel model. This performance was achieved against high comps with +3.6% LFL in Q2 2021 and +6.3% in Q2 2020.

		Q2
LFL	2020	2021	2022
France	+0.7%	+4.7%	+1.4%
Europe	+4.7%	-1.9%	+3.8%
Latin America	+20.9%	+10.5%	+27.7%
Taiwan	-2.5%	-1.4%	-4.7%
Group	+6.3%	+3.6%	+7.3%

In France, in an overall stable market despite growing inflation, Q2 2022 sales increased +1.4% LFL (+1.9% LFL in food, -2.7% LFL in non-food), on a high comparable base linked to sanitary constraints that were still in place in Q2 2021. Group market share continued to grow over the quarter (+0.3 points in value and +0.5 points in volume in Q2)¹ , notably in hypermarkets and convenience. Hypermarkets benefitted from their attractiveness in terms of offer, price and promotion. Convenience stores were particularly dynamic, driven by the resumption of tourism in big cities. BtoB activity, which had been particularly impacted by restaurant closures through June 2021, as well as services (travel agency, ticketing, etc.) recovered sharply. Store network transformation continues: to date, out of the 43 store transfers scheduled for 2022, 37 stores -of which 16 hypermarkets and 21 supermarkets- have already been converted to lease-management. The remaining 6 supermarkets will be transferred in the coming months.

		Q2

Hypermarkets	-3.6%	+4.3%	-0.5%

France	+0.7%	+4.7%	+1.4%

In Europe, like-for-like sales were up +3.8% compared to Q2 2021.

In Spain (+4.8% LFL), Carrefour, driven by consistent market share gains, kept progressing in all formats in Q2, with a strong performance in food sales. Carrefour confirmed its strong momentum and capitalized on its leading price positioning to attract a growing number of customers
In Italy (+4.7% LFL), Carrefour confirmed its turnaround with another quarter of positive sales evolution, driven by continued improvement in customer satisfaction
In Belgium (-4.8% LFL), sales were down, albeit less than in the previous quarter (-7.0% LFL). The environment remained highly competitive, while the Group was still affected by the logistics issues that arose in Q4 2021, resulting from disruptions at a major logistics partner
In Poland (+15.0% LFL), momentum remained very good, on a high comparable base and in a buoyant environment
In Romania (+6.4% LFL), Carrefour progressed strongly again, after +8.4% LFL growth in Q2 2021

In Latin America, LFL sales increased by +27.7% in Q2.

In Brazil, sales increased by +35.6% at constant exchange rates, with LFL sales growth of +19.4% and a contribution from openings and acquisitions of +15.6%. The exchange rate effect was a favorable +29.5%. This excellent dynamic reflects the strengthening and the success of commercial initiatives aimed at improving competitiveness
o Atacadão's sales were up +29.4% at constant exchange rates in Q2 2022, with like-for-like growth of +22.4% on a high comparable base (+10.2% LFL in Q2 2021). This performance, supported by positive volume growth, illustrates the strength of its model in the current macroeconomic context
o Carrefour Retail sales growth in the quarter (+10.5% LFL) reflected good momentum in food (LFL +17.1% in Q2) with growing volumes, while non-food sales returned to positive growth since May
o Food e-commerce GMV more than tripled in Q2 notably driven by Atacadão, where e-commerce already accounts for more than 3% of sales 2 years only after its launch
o Financial services continued to improve in Q2, with a 22.4% increase in credit portfolio, billings up +9.4% and good risk management
In Argentina (+71.2% LFL), Carrefour continued to strengthen its leading position with consistent market share gains. In a context marked by persistently high inflation, the Group stood out and succeeded in growing volumes once again

		Q2

In Taiwan (Asia), Q2 sales were up +2.2% at constant exchange rates. Like-for-like sales were down -4.7%, impacted notably by store closures due to Covid-19, on a high comparable base driven by precautionary purchases in 2021.

H1 2022 INCOME STATEMENT¹

H1 2022 gross sales increased by 5.4% on a like-for-like basis. The Group's gross sales stood at €43,317m pre-IAS 29, an increase of +10.2% at constant exchange rates. This variation included positive impacts of +1.5% for expansion and scope and +3.1% from petrol. After including a positive currency effect of +3.1%, linked to the appreciation of the Brazilian Real, total sales were up +13.2%.

Net sales amounted to €39,054m.

Gross margin stood at 20.0% of net sales, down -134bps. This reflected:

Investments in competitiveness
The growing weight of petrol sales, which carry low margin
The evolution of the integrated/franchisee store mix

Distribution costs improved by 103bps to 15.3% of net sales, compared to 16.3% in H1 2021, despite a marked increase in costs related to raw materials (energy, paper, etc.). They benefited from the good sales momentum and cost-savings plans.

Group Recurring Operating Income (ROI) reached €814m, up +€74m (+10.0%), or +1.6% at constant exchange rates (the currency effect was positive at +€62m, notably due to the appreciation of the Brazilian Real). Operating margin stood at 2.1%, in line with H1 2021.

The improvement in H1 ROI reflected:

Continued strong commercial momentum, with market share gains in all key countries
The Group's discipline in terms of cost management, resulting in good execution of the cost-savings program, with €480m achieved in H1 2022
In France, ROI was up +3.8% (+€7m) to €194m, with a stable operating margin of 1.1%. This reflected solid commercial momentum, combined with good cost-reduction dynamics, offsetting distribution cost inflation and investments in competitiveness
In Europe (excluding France), ROI was down €63m to €163m in H1 2022, mainly impacted by a marked decline in Belgium. Excluding Belgium, ROI in Europe was broadly stable
In Latin America, ROI reached €444m, up +43.7%, or +24.8% at constant exchange rates. Operating margin was down -17bps to 4.8%. The impact of the application of IAS 29 was €(16)m
o In Brazil, ROI increased by +€117m (+€55m at constant exchange rate) to €414m. The -33bps decrease in ROI margin reflected Carrefour Brazil's commercial policy with reinforced attractiveness and price leadership, in order to protect customer purchasing power, and stronger promotional events. This translated into continued market share gains in the first half. Grupo BIG contribution to ROI in H1 was marginally positive
o In Argentina, ROI has more than doubled to €30m thanks to excellent commercial dynamics and a constant attention to costs. Margin improved by 77bps to 2.1%
In Taiwan (Asia), ROI in the half stood at €40m vs €47m in H1 2021

Non-recurring income and expenses was fairly stable at €(85) vs €(70)m in H1 2021 and mainly included provisions and costs related to the acquisition of Grupo BIG. The relative stability reflects a strong decrease in capital gains (€62m vs. €248m in H1 2021, which included the sale of Market Pay and the Pinheiros project in Brazil), offset by sharp decline in restructuring costs (€(16)m vs. €(260)m in H1 2021).

¹ H1 2021 comparable base is restated for the April 2021 IFRS IC decision on the recognition of configuration and customization costs related to SaaS contracts (IAS 38). Taiwan operations are included in H1 consolidated numbers

Net income, Group share stood at €255 vs €271m in H1 2022. It included the following items:

Net financial expenses of €(186)m, compared to €(132)m in H1 2021, linked to higher debt in Brazil following the acquisition of Grupo BIG, as well as higher interest rates
An income tax charge of €(202)m vs €(186)m the previous year. The normative tax rate¹ increased to 31.0% vs. 30.6% in H1 2021, mainly reflecting the evolution of the geographic mix with a higher income tax rate in Brazil, partially offset by the decrease in corporate tax rate in France
Net income from discontinued operations, Group share of €5m vs €23m in H1 2021

Adjusted net income, Group share decreased by (3.5)% to €325m compared to €337m in H1 2021.

Adjusted EPS improved by +3.1% to €0.43 vs €0.42 in H1 2021.

CASH FLOW AND DEBT

In H1 2022, the Group posted an improvement of +€110m in its net free cash flow² from €(1,990)m to €(1,880)m, mainly reflecting:

A €114m increase in EBITDA
A €41m increase in income tax paid
A change in working capital requirement, which improved by €180m, driven by higher increase in trade payables than in inventories in the inflationary context, and the increase in operating expenses payables. Inventory level, both in food and non-food, remained satisfactory, with an increase at end-June mainly reflecting the impact of inflation and the consolidation of Grupo BIG
A slight increase in Capex to €557m in H1 2022 (vs. €539m in H1 2021), in line with the expected increase in full-year Capex to €1.85bn in 2022 (vs €1.65bn in 2021), including c.€150m exceptional Capex related to the integration of Grupo BIG, to be invested in H2 2022
A €71m increase in cost of net financial debt, driven by higher debt in Brazil following the acquisition of Grupo BIG, as well as higher interest rates

Net financial debt stood at €6,533m at June 30, 2022, vs €5,525m at June 30, 2021. This variation over 12 months notably included:

Net free cash flow of €1,338m
The payment of dividends for €527m including €380m in ordinary dividends to Group shareholders, as well as dividends to minority interests
Acquisitions and disposals for a net total of €990m, including the acquisition of Grupo BIG in Brazil for €866m
Share buybacks for €1,012m between July 1st, 2021 and June 30, 2022

ENHANCED LIQUIDITY AND SOLID BALANCE SHEET

Since 2018, the Group has demonstrated great financial discipline and has strengthened its balance sheet and liquidity. This is an important asset in the current context, marked by rapid changes in food retail and macroeconomic uncertainties.

As of June 30, 2022, the Group was rated Baa1 stable outlook by Moody's and BBB stable outlook by Standard & Poor's.

In June 2022, the Group redeemed a bond issue maturing in July in the amount of €1bn, with a coupon of 1.75%.

¹ Excluding non-current income and taxes not assessed on pre-tax income

² Net Free Cash Flow corresponds to free cash flow after net finance costs and net lease payments. It includes cash-out of exceptional charges

In March 2022, the Group successfully placed a Sustainability-Linked Bond issue for a total amount of €1.5bn. It is made up of two tranches, rated BBB by S&P, and is indexed to the Group's sustainable development objectives:

A first tranche at a fixed rate with a maturity of 4.6 years in an amount of €750m, with a coupon of 1.875% per year
A second tranche at a fixed rate with a maturity of 7.6 years in an amount of €750m, with a coupon of 2.375% per year

This issue was exceptionally well received by the market, with total demand of nearly €8bn. Carrefour will report each year in its Universal Registration Document on the level of progress of its key non-financial performance indicators, which will be assessed by an independent third party. The amounts raised finance the general needs of the Group and allow for bond refinancing.

In Brazil, in the framework of the acquisition of Grupo BIG, the Group raised bank loans totaling R\$6.3bn (R\$2.9bn in January 2022 and R\$1.5bn in May 2022, after R\$1.9bn in September 2021).

PROGRESS ON THE 2026 DIGITAL STRATEGIC PLAN

Carrefour has set itself the ambition of being a world leader in Digital Retail. The Group's objectives are for e-commerce GMV of €10bn and an additional digital contribution to current operating income of €600m by 2026. In H1 2022, the Group progressed in line with its plan:

Carrefour Links continues to grow rapidly, with 302 active partners at end-June vs. 235 at end-April, and an increasing contribution to ROI
The digitization of financial services, driven by Brazil, is progressing in line with expectations
E-commerce continued to grow on a high comparable base, with a +16% increase in GMV in H1 2022 to €2.0bn. Q2 saw an acceleration with +22% growth after +10% in Q1

ACQUISITION OF GRUPO BIG IN BRAZIL

Carrefour completed the acquisition of Grupo BIG in Brazil, which is included in consolidated accounts as of June 1 st, 2022. The integration process is ongoing and first store conversions will be effective in September 2022. Carrefour has already launched a first wave of joint purchasing negotiations, and the new management structure is up and running.

The Group reiterates its synergy target, gradually ramping up to represent a net additional contribution to Carrefour Group EBITDA of at least R\$2.0bn (c. €360m) in 2025.

SALE OF CARREFOUR TAIWAN

Carrefour announced on July 19, 2022 the signing of an agreement to sell its 60% ownership of Carrefour Taiwan to Uni-President. This transaction values Carrefour Taiwan at an enterprise value of €2.0bn. Closing of the transaction is subject to approval by Taiwanese competition authorities and other customary conditions. It should be effective by mid-2023.

After the completion of Grupo BIG's acquisition in Brazil last June, this transaction will refocus Carrefour on its core strategic markets in Europe and Latin America.

The Taiwanese operations will be accounted for as discontinued operations in 2022, starting with Carrefour's third quarter sales publication, in accordance with the IFRS 5 accounting standard.

CARREFOUR, A COMMITTED COMPANY – CSR INDEX: 108%

The Group's CSR and Food Transition index, which enables effective management of its extra-financial performance, reached 108% in the first half. Carrefour confirms its objectives for the 2022-2025 period.

o In Brazil, launch of a tool to ensure complete production traceability of Brazilian beef

OUTLOOK

The Group remains very attentive to macroeconomic and market developments, in particular food inflation and cost inflation, household consumption and customer satisfaction. The Group is confident in its teams and its model to:

Preserve the purchasing power of its customers by relying on Carrefour-branded products, a dynamic promotional activity and its omnichannel model which offers, beyond its loyalty program, an unrivalled choice of formats, especially those offering the biggest discounts (hypermarkets, Supeco)
Consolidate its economic model with heightened vigilance on operational costs

In this context, the Group:

Raises its cost savings objective from €900m to €1.0bn for 2022, or €2.8bn over the 2021-2023 period

APPENDIX

SHARE CAPITAL DECREASE BY WAY OF CANCELLATION OF TREASURY SHARES

As part of its capital allocation policy, the Group has proceeded during the first half of 2022 with two tranches of share buybacks with a view to their future cancellation, the first for an amount of €400m and the second for an amount of €350m, as authorized by the Annual General Meeting of May 21, 2021

The first tranche of share buybacks started on March 7, 2022 and ended on April 13, 2022: 21,232,106 shares were purchased at an average price of €18.84 per share; these shares have been canceled as per a decision by the Board of Directors of April 20, 2022 to reduce the share capital of Carrefour SA.

The second tranche of share buybacks started on May 2, 2022 and ended on May 24, 2022: 17,191,700 shares were purchased at an average price of €20.36 per share; 12,506,325 shares have been canceled as per a decision by the Board of Directors of June 3, 2022 to reduce the share capital of Carrefour SA.

After this cancellation of such shares, the outstanding number of shares of Carrefour S.A. is 742,157,461 shares and the number of treasury shares is hence 11,544,870 shares, representing approximately 1.6% of the share capital.

The number of shares carrying voting rights thus stands at 730,612,591 as of July 27, 2022
